Attribute changes are not notified and table is not updated

I want to update a table but the update SQL is not performed so the changes has no effect.

Details:

Originally issue.name us 'issue'. I want to change to 'qqqqqqqqqqqq'.

Controller:

def update
if params['cancel']
  redirect_to(@issue)
  return
end
@issue = Issue.find(params[:id])
logger.debug "original object"
logger.debug "#{@issue.to_yaml}"
logger.debug 'bulk attribute settings...'
@issue.attributes= params[:issue]
logger.debug "after bulk settings"
logger.debug "#{@issue.to_yaml}"

@issue.events.build(:note=>params[:issue][:description],:verb=>'Edited', :changes=>@issue.textalize_changes)

if @issue.save
  logger.debug "after save"
  logger.debug "#{@issue.to_yaml}"
  redirect_to(@issue)
else
  render :action => "edit"
end
end

One additional code fregment might be interesting is the textalize_changes:

def textalize_changes
r = ""
if changed?
  changes.keys.each do |k|
    r << "#{k.humanize} changed "
    r << "from `#{translate(k,changes[k][0])}` " 
    r << "to `#{translate(k,changes[k][1])}`"
    r << "<br/>"
  end
end
r开发者_StackOverflow unless r.blank?
end

The result:

• until the line @issue.save everything looks correct. I have checked that @issue contains all the changes i have made.
• on the user interface no changes I have notified.
• in the log no update SQL is visible. all relevant select and insert is presented but no update - so no change in table issues
• even textalize_changes has not realize and changes in the object when checking for that (changed?)
• If I manually change the attribute in at source code level by name=XXX it is working.

I don't know what to check or review at all. The code is so simple that i have no idea at all.

Here is the log of the operation:

Technical info:

• Op system: winXP
• rails: rails 2.3.4

Additional info:

I have a bulk operation with the same purpose which is working correctly. I really don't know the differences:

def update_multiple  
if params['cancel']
  redirect_to issues_path
  return
end
@issues = Issue.find(params[:issue_ids])
@issues.each do |issue|
  issue.attributes= params[:issue].reject {|k,v| v.blank? }
  issue.apply_template_on_name_change
  issue.events.build(:note=>params[:issue][:description],:verb=>"Edited", :changes=>issue.textalize_changes)
  issue.save!
end
flash[:notice]="Issues updated!"
redirect_to issues_path
 end 

Additional info:

If I replace @issue.attributes= params[:issue] by @issue.attributes= params[:issue].reject {|k,v| v.blank? } it apply changes and working. But it is not the one I really want. I want to change everything at once. I am going crazy.

Can you try save with exclamation, like @issue.save! to see the errors.

I have found the issue in awesome nested set.

This plugin reloads the object just before executing nested set operations.: I have changed the controller in the following way:

@issue.parent_issue= params[:issue][:parent_issue]
@issue.attributes= params[:issue].reject {|k,v| 'parent_issue'==k }

this the best solutions now.

note: parent_issue is for setting the parent of the given entity and using the same form as for the rest of the attributes.
